are now at work on the case. and there is
promise OF sensational disclosures
The attempt to murderM Ferry was most
deliberate. A man named Aubertine q
rabid revolutiorist, appeared in the hall
of the Chamber of Deputies and requested
that Ferry be informed that gentleman
desired TO speak TO him The ex-Premier
responded, and at his appearance the
would-be murderer drew revolver and
fired three times a5 him. One of the bullets
struck NJ Ferry in the chest and another on
the right side near the lowest rib. The
wounds, however, were not serious as NJ
Ferry was able to proceed to a hospital as
sisted by friends.
After the shooting series of quarrels
also arose between the members of the
Chamber of Deputies who had flocked into
the lobbies during the excitement The
disputes were mainly waged between the
Moderates and the Radicals, and We're
heightened by the charge made in a loud
voice by NJ. Rouvier that the Radicals had
by their course provoked weak minded per-
sons to commit deeds of violence. Several
scutfies ensued, and in some cases blows
We're exchanged, but nobody received seri-
Gus injury.
Ofhcers OF the law saved the would-be
murderer from violence and hurried him
off to prison. He became laxative and in

made upon Ferry The assassin is about
twenty years of age. He says he is a men,
Der of a group of twenty RevolutiOnists;
that he and his comrades drew lots. as to
who should commit the first murder and
that the task of taking Jules Fery's line
fell to him. He is not penitent-in fact, he
seems to regret that he failed in his muir
derous undertaking
NJ Ferry passed a feverish night but was
able to rise yesterday morning The fever
continued during the day, and it was feared
that his wounds would be aggravated. A
bulletin issued last evening said that his
condition was satisfactory, but q midnight
bulletin says that it is less favorable He
received thousands of cards and letters
yesterday, and Senators and Deputies of all
parties have called at his residence and
signed the register.
Aubertine, the would-be assassin, was ex-
amined by the JUICE Construction yesterday.
He declared that he was an anti-Reyolution-
lst He said he was sorry that he had not
killed NJ Ferry, and expressed the hope that
others be more successful Auber6ine prom

sinate some of the members of the Rouyier
! Cabinet before that day.
Aubertine is a man of 50 years, short in
stature, with gray hair. He was recognized
by several journalists as having given
them ridiculous pamphlets. A number
of copies of the Ferryists' paper,
La RepubIique FraacaiSe, were found,
annotated and marked, in Auberines

men had pinned their faith upon the APP

Premier or having an important in

but Republican unity exploded when
the Cabinet making began The Radicals
only wanted two out of the ten portfolios
and even these had been denied them. NJ.

NJ Fallieres went to the Elysee yesterday
and informed President Carnot that he had

the attempt M. Loclroy and several other
statesmen to whom M Fallieres made over

The President then charged Senator Tirard
with the task of forming Cabinet NJ,
Lockroy again refused to join, and N.
Tirard's colleagues decided that it would be
impossible to form q Ministry without the
assistance of the Radical Left NJ Tirard
will therefore abandon the task The i'm
